I have a real obsession with sunsets and the early evening moon at the moment – I’ve been photographing them, painting them, drawing them, dreaming them!

Having done a lot of watercolour and acrylic versions, I got out the oil paints this weekend and tried a fairly abstract version. I put gloves on and smeared the paint with my fingers – not a brush to be seen 🙂

One of the tasks on the art tape I’ve been working on involves collage. I wasn’t sure I would get much out of it, as it quite like scrapbooking which I do a lot of anyway.

But I got right into it – fun, but challenging at the same time. I completed two pieces and have ideas for more yet – more steps, more complex ideas. I think this could get quite obsessive for a bit. The sunsets might take a back seat for a while…

Now if I can just get the glue out of my hair, everything will be fine LOL
